Le Potazzine Gorelli Brunello di Montalcino DOCG 2011
Vintage Character
Le Potazzine Gorelli Brunello di Montalcino 2011 is a Brunello di Montalcino DOCG from Tuscany, crafted entirely from Sangiovese Grosso. The 2011 vintage in Montalcino was warm and generous, yielding wines with open-knit fruit and early charm, and in the hands of a traditional, high-altitude estate like Le Potazzine it delivers notable value with freshness preserved. The estate’s distinctive character comes from vineyards on Montalcino’s cooler, elevated sites, including Le Prata and La Torre, where galestro-rich soils, strong ventilation, and marked day-night temperature shifts help shape a Brunello of lift, detail, and poise rather than sheer power.
Tasting Profile & Food Pairing
Wine Advocate awarded this wine 93 points, underscoring its standing among elegant, terroir-driven Brunellos from the vintage. The bouquet offers ripe cherry, wild strawberry, violet, orange peel, and dried herbs, with hints of cedar, tobacco, and balsamic earth emerging in the glass. On the palate it is full-bodied yet finely proportioned, with bright acidity, polished tannins, and a savory mineral thread carrying the fruit through a long, gently spiced finish. It pairs beautifully with porcini risotto, roast lamb with rosemary, or duck breast with cherry glaze.
Winery Background
Le Potazzine was founded in 1993 by Gigliola Giannetti and remains a family-run Montalcino estate, its name inspired by the local nickname for the great tit bird and by Gigliola’s daughters, Viola and Sofia. The winery is admired for a traditional philosophy centered on organic farming, hand harvesting, native-yeast fermentation, and long macerations that favor nuance over extraction. Aging is carried out in large Slavonian oak casks rather than small barriques, preserving the transparency, acidity, and finely etched structure that make Le Potazzine a benchmark for graceful, old-school Brunello.
